Abstract excerpt
We investigated an Alu element at the end of intron 8 of the human vitamin D-binding protein (hDBP, group-specific component, GC) gene that shows a polymorphic poly(A) tail due to a variable number of tandem repeats (AluVpA) forming the 3' end of this member of the most abundant class of short interspersed repeated DNA element (SINES). The Alu element sequence in intron 8 of the GC gene was identical in all three...
